CAR-10 Buffer - 5.5 ounces - $100
A CAR-10 buffer will allow you to use any AR15 collapsing stock (Magpul/LMT/VLTOR/Ace/etc) on your AR10, SR25, LMT, LWRC, POF or DPMS-pattern .308 rifle. This is strictly a 'Drop-In' part, no gunsmithing or modifications are required.
CAR-10 buffers are shorter and heavier than standard carbine buffers. Constructed of 303 Stainless Steel with a sliding Tungsten anti-bounce counterweight. Heavy buffers reduce felt recoil for the shooter, and minimize wear and tear on the gun. Many users report that the CAR-10 buffer corrected reliability issues with their firearms.
This product is specifically recommended by Magpul for use with their carbine stocks on .308 ARs. (Call them!) CAR-10 buffers also work great with any other stock using a standard 7" carbine buffer tube.
I recommend using .308 Carbine Buffer Springs with these buffers. These springs custom manufactured specifically for use with CAR-10/CAR-10XH buffers. OEM springs and aftermarket springs (incluging Sprinco Red/Orange/Yellow/Green/Blue/Indigo/Violet) may cause malfunctions. 'Flat-Wire' springs are not recommended for any application.
Note: Not compatible with .223 ARs.
This buffer is designed for use in .308 ARs with a 7" receiver extension (buffer tube). If you have an ArmaLite/VLTOR extended length tube (7-3/4") please see the XH Carbine buffer & .308 Rifle Buffer Spring (EA1095).
I also recommend an XH Carbine buffer & .308 Rifle Buffer Spring (EA1095) for the Magpul UBR Gen2.
Also available for suppressed weapons:
CAR-10 XH (Extra Heavy) Buffer
I strongly recommend this buffer if any of the following conditions apply:
- If you will be shooting with a suppressor. (Your gun will still run fine unsuppressed with standard ammunition.)
- If you will be shooting hot handloads or very heavy bullets.
- If you want maximum recoil reduction.
